* The story and quests are fairly interesting, but I wish Larian would make a commitment on what it means to be soul forged. The Soul Forge between Ysgerna and Damian seems to be the 'great whatever we want it to be at this moment' of the writers. I've always found writing along those lines to be rather unsatisfying, and a mark of lazy authors who want to create a 'surprise', but don't want to go through a really good development of the surprise. So, it basically becomes a non-surprise, because we all know that the writers are just going to say, "Damian's not dead, and Ysgerna isn't really dead either". Which is fine, as far as it goes, but why leave it so open-ended at the end of the game, giving the player the impression she is dead, when we know she really isn't?
I think the Soul Forge was a wrong hypothesis. It never happened, Zandalor mistaked believing it did. Soul forging is better explained in Beyond Divinity, even if...
it was probably just a trick to force the paladin to cooperate ^^ yeah, Larian scenarists are kind of tricky.
